## Resource

What if the greatest threat to God's people isn't persecution from the outside—but hatred from within? During the Three Weeks, the Jewish people remember the destruction of the Temple, a tragedy the sages connect to baseless hatred. But if hatred can destroy a people, what might baseless love be capable of building? In one of his most personal messages ever, Rabbi Damian shares the heartbreaking story of his nephew Gabriel's life-changing accident and reflects on faith, unanswered prayer, compassion, and the hope of the coming Kingdom. Through the tears, he points us to Yeshua—the One who saw suffering, wept with the broken, and never stopped bringing healing and hope. How do we trust God when tragedy strikes? What does genuine compassion actually look like? And how can followers of Messiah become people who don't simply say, "I'll pray for you," but truly enter into the pain of others? This message is a heartfelt challenge to reject the poison of baseless hatred and embrace the transforming power of baseless love. If this message encourages you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today. We'd also be honored to hear your prayer requests in the comments as we continue praying for Gabriel and for everyone walking through seasons of suffering.
